How should I handle my shriveled cactus? It started shriveling up about 10 days ago. I pulled it out to check for root rot (3rd pic) and then repotted it back in. I haven’t watered since repotting because I was worried doing so soon after, but my gut says it’s really dry. Any advice?
Give a big drink and a smaller pot might help
4 Me gustaYep he's super thirsty. Normally i wouldn't suggest it with a cactus, but this guy could probably do a 20 minute bottom-watering soak to help him rehydrate (just make sure it drains really well after.) And i agree on the smaller pot; cacti usually prefer a tighter fit
2 Me gustaYeah, I would water it. The worst she could do is kill it, but I think you’re killing it now so surprising cactus actually do like water
